Do you know where this is? Yep, Chelmsley Wood has a Knife surrender bin, helping us get knives of our streets. Anyone can anonymously deposit knives into the bin, it is situated at the bottom of the stairwell & escalators opposite the Town Centre car park. Would you like to give us information about Knife Crime or those carrying knives? You can do so anonymously via crimestoppers.
